The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 216: Suicide on the Spot
Xie Lin and Chu Heyi were riding on horses respectively. They were both dressed in rags, with their long hair tied up only with silk ribbons without any hair accessories. Their faces did not look good, but their eyes were determined.
They rode their horses and slowed down when they reached the city gate.
Behind them, there was a carriage, and sitting in the carriage was the prince. After being rescued, he really didn't have the strength to ride a horse. Fortunately, Huai Qi had already arranged a carriage for him.
Behind the carriage, there were several hundred guards.
As for Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, although they were covered in wounds and had consumed a lot of their physical strength, they were concerned about Chu You and Chu Xin who might be pushed off the city wall by Dongfang Shuo at any time, so they rode their horses and rushed to the front.
They didn't have time to rest and ran all the way.
As soon as they appeared at the city gate, hundreds of guards rushed up, swords in hand, and surrounded them.
Dongfang Ye heard the noise and got out of the carriage. He had rested for an hour on the way and had eaten a lot. His strength was slowly recovering and he could move around.
When the people around saw him, they were stunned.
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He has captured Lord Xie and Lady Cheng'an!"
"His Royal Highness is so amazing. No one knew where Lord Xie and Princess Cheng'an were hiding, but he actually captured them."
Dongfang Ye heard the discussion: "..."
The guards patrolling nearby knelt down upon seeing this and said, "Long live the Crown Prince!"
Dongfang Ye: “…………”
Xie Lin and Chu Heyi had to stop and glance at the guards who were holding swords and pointing them at them.
The guards formed a circle with swords in hand, and the two of them were trapped in the middle. If they took any more steps forward, the guards would kill them.
At this moment, they could not move forward.
Chu Heyi raised her eyes and looked towards the top of the city wall, and saw the hems of her two sisters' clothes fluttering in the wind.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the city, and the guards made way. It was Princess Pingyang in pink!
She rode her horse to Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, and her tall horse inserted itself directly between them.
Princess Pingyang glanced at Chu Heyi with contempt, and then looked at Xie Lin, "Sir Xie, you killed the imperial concubine, this is a capital crime, now that you two have returned, you will definitely not be able to survive."
Xie Lin did not answer, so Princess Pingyang looked at Chu Heyi and said, "You caused Lord Xie to fall into such a situation. Do you regret it? Do you want him to live?"
Chu Heyi had no expression on her face: "I want him to be alive, Princess, do you have a solution?"
Princess Pingyang said proudly: "I am a princess, the most beloved daughter of my father. Of course I have a way. It depends on whether you selfishly want Master Xie to die with you, or let Master Xie live."
Chu Heyi: "I'd like to hear the details."
Princess Pingyang glanced at Xie Lin and said, "I want Lord Xie to be my consort. My father loves me. If Lord Xie agrees to be my consort, I will threaten my father with my own life to spare Lord Xie's life, otherwise I will die. My father loves me, so he will agree to it."
She was confident and proud, with her chin held high, as if waiting for Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to kneel down and thank her.
Chu Heyi said: "It depends on what Lord Xie wants. I can't make any decisions for Lord Xie. If he wants to be a prince consort, I can't stop him. If he doesn't want to do it, I can't persuade him."
Princess Pingyang frowned, very dissatisfied with Chu Heyi's current attitude. They were already dying, why were they still so noble?
"You've hurt him to this point, you have a responsibility to persuade him! Only by becoming my consort can he survive!"
Then he turned to look at Xie Lin and said sarcastically: "Master Xie, did you see that? You are willing to commit a capital crime for this woman, but you have a glimmer of hope, but she refuses to give it to you."
Princess Pingyang couldn't help but ask angrily: "Is she worth it?"
Xie Lin's gaze passed Princess Pingyang and looked at Chu Heyi. The morning sun was rising, and the morning glow was shrouded on her. There was no rouge on her face, and there were even scars and stains on her face, but in his sight, Chu Heyi was radiant with light.
"When I do things with Miss Heyi, I don't ask whether it's worth it or not, I only ask whether she's willing." Xie Lin said, "If Her Royal Highness the Princess asks me, my answer is yes."
Princess Pingyang's eyes were bloodshot, she tightly grasped the reins in her hands and stared at Xie Lin, but Xie Lin showed no sign of lowering his head, so she wanted... she wanted to destroy Chu Heyi, let Chu Heyi die!
Dongfang Shuo had already been watching them from the tower. At this moment, his cold voice came down from the tower:
“Chu Heyi, you teamed up with Xie Lin to kill my mother. This feud is irreconcilable. I want you and Xie Lin to commit suicide on the spot, otherwise I will push Chu You and Chu Xin off the tower and let them die for you!!”
The moment Dongfang Shuo finished speaking, all the soldiers took a step forward with swords in hand, and the air was filled with murderous intent.
Chu Heyi shouted to the tower: "Your Highness said that we killed Concubine Zheng. Is there solid evidence? Even if Your Highness wants us to die, you should put the evidence in front of us first and make us admit our guilt and give up."
Dongfang Shuo pushed Chu You and Chu Xin to the edge of the city wall. As long as he pushed slightly, the two girls would fall down.
Chu Heyi's heart was in his throat, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"I will count to three. If you and Xie Lin don't commit suicide, your two sisters will fall to their deaths in front of you!"
He didn't respond to Chu Heyi's words at all.
Xie Lin said to Chu Heyi: "To avenge Concubine Zheng, King Cheng is just plotting against us. He doesn't need to be sure that we are the murderer to kill us. It won't be too late to kill us and then find evidence for his mother.
"He is a prince. If the case is overturned in the future, he will at most kneel in front of the palace for a few days, and the emperor will forgive him. He will not let him pay with his life for our unjust case."
Princess Pingyang immediately said, "So, if you agree to be my consort, I will save your life!"
Xie Lin and Chu Heyi ignored her. They both pursed their lips and stared at the city wall. The morning light filled the sky and the earth, and it was a little dazzling.
Chu Heyi said softly, "Thank you, sir. King Cheng never intended to let my two sisters go. If I kill myself on the spot, he will let go and let my two sisters fall. He will turn around and say that he has been up all night and his hands are no longer strong. The prime minister will even make excuses for him, saying that he lost his mother and was too sad, which led to this result. The emperor still won't kill him."
Dongfang Shuo wanted them to die, no matter what the reason.
Xie Lin said: "Yes."
Dongfang Shuo's voice came again: "Chu Heyi, Xie Lin, have you decided? I will start counting, one!"
Chu You and Chu Xin spoke at the same time: "Sister Heyi, please don't. We are not afraid of death! As daughters of generals, we are never afraid of death! This is what our fathers and brothers taught us!"
Chu Heyi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Dongfang Shuo, "You want to commit suicide? Why don't you give me the sword?"
Dongfang Shuo looked down at her and Xie Lin, and thought that Xie Lin was a civil official and had no ability to break out of the siege with Chu Heyi. Giving the sword to them would have no killing power.
"Give them the swords!" Dongfang Shuo ordered.
